    You are not a coach amirite?

    I know for certain you have never won 2 COTY or been credited for being the father of this new age of space and pace offense in NBA.

    Rock, I just looked up the recent game vs the Mav's Harty did not even play.

    What do you mean Clark not on the team during small ball run !? We were playing him at the 5 most of the time !!

    We are arguing from 2 entirely different perspectives tho. I would want hartenstein out there even if he's a minus 10 because 1) We can come back from that, 2) not doing it is putting too much stress on PJ.

    Do me a favor, go to basketball reference dot com , go look at haretnstein's game logs for the year and find me a game hes Lost us. You wont be able to do it.

    I hope MDA and him are gone soon. They'll die by this stupid idea that it's all about small ball and chucking up 3s. Good luck with that.

    Rockets won’t be a buyout destination. LA teams will be the natural spot for the main guys.

    Capela (on/off court) Rockets team
    on court 112.1 (ORtg)...109.7 (DRtg)
    off court 117.9 (ORtg)...111.5 (DRtg)
    net Rtg: on court +2.4 ............off court +6.4
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/capelca01/on-off/2020

    I also prefer Bruno’s 67% (FT%) over Capela’s 53% (FT%)

    Would you give tips to the neurosurgeon who is operating on your child?

    No matter how much your untrained believes he is using the wrong tools?

    lol... it aint brain surgery - or Rocket science...

    If you have 2 MVPs in their prime - and you cant build a team around that that can just ram it down the other teams throats - without resorting to high risk/reward gimmicks... then do you really know what you're doing? :)

    and... lol...

    In 1898, James Naismith became the first basketball coach of the University of Kansas. He compiled a record of 55–60 and is ironically the only losing coach in Kansas history.
    ...and he created the whole game...

    May not be Rocket science but it is Rocket ART.

    You need to let the artist create.

    Idk what you guys have against Tristan Thompson. He would fit quite well with the Rox.

    Anyone that liked Clint should like TT. He is very similar and has a higher motor.

    Isiah Thomas supposedly is being bought out after being traded to the LAC.
    At a statuesque 5'9" he could fit the Rockets' need for a "stretch PF". He is shooting >41% from the 3-point line.

    I doubt if any center breaks free they'll want to go to the Lakers. Maybe the Clippers? But I'd actually think any bought out center would be drooling at the idea of coming to Houston for the starting spot.
